0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>look at your word today, and as we continue to

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>look at these genealogies. We're grateful Lord that in per

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>particular we can see part of the lineage of your

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>son Jesus Christ, who was born through David's line. We're

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>grateful Lord that we get to peek into this history

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and see some of the people that you use to

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>form that chain. And likewise, Lord, we're grateful that you

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>call us your children as well. We're grateful that we

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>have the privilege, through faith in your son Jesus Christ,

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to be brought into your family and embraced as yours.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>And Lord, sometimes it can be very easy for us

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to go our own way and to feel distant from you,

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>But we pray Lord that in every context that we

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>find ourselves in, that we would be mindful of the

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that you are present here with us. You are omnipresent,

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>You are everywhere we are, so we pray Lord that

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>we would never be fooled into thinking that you are

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a distance off. We're grateful for your love for us.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>We're grateful, Lord for the fact that you have revealed

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to us that salvation is found in no one else,

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>no other name, other than the name of your son,

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. And we're grateful Lord that, by your grace

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you have drawn us to faith in Jesus, because we

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>know we would never have naturally made that decision. So

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you for opening our eyes, thank you for removing

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the veil from our hearts. And we pray that, by

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 1>your grace that you would draw us close to you

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>today and every day. We pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
